My CFX50 is perfect as it fits under the hard lid of the hilux. Fits food and drinks for a family of 3 for 3 days camping, although i top up the beers. I originally bought the 75 as its the same height but wider, awkward to carry and a bit too heavy for one person when loaded up. The benefits of the two zones/doors were lost with the centre wall losing capacity too

Picked up a CF80 second hand a few days ago. I looked up measurements online and checked with a tape that it would fit well where I was putting it but in hindsight it's probably too big. I'll have it over the beach for 2 or 3 days this weekend so I'll know for sure by the end. Being second hand I don't think I'll have much trouble getting close to my money back for it if it's not suitable.

I've found tentworld to be the cheapest for Dometic fridges, they were a couple of hundred cheaper for my CFX95 when I bought it, without checking them first.
Otherwise Anaconda seems to be cheaper than BCF alot of the time.

The thing that swayed me to the Dometic is the proper dual zone setup, 1 compartment for fridge and 1 compartment for freezer each with it's own lid. I have no doubt there are better fridges out there, but how much more expensive and phyiscally bigger are they? I'll probably use mine a few times a year in the back of the wagon. Suits me fine.
I wouldn't think about using it in the back of a ute for weeks on end in the outback, it's not designed for that.

I personally use Engels for work, they are expensive and heavy but after 50,000 plus km of dirt roads sitting on an open tray I have never had a failure. I tried an evakool plastic model (waeco copy) and after 1000km the compressor cracked which they replaced under warranty but it is now the beer fridge in my shed.

Perfect for keeping those those dead bodies fresh when you need to move them and don't want them smelling up the car

So after a few years it looks like the 12v side of my Primus 80l fridge has packed it in over the weekend. Still runs the lights and internal fans but the compressor never kicks in. Works mint on 240v.

What should I be looking for as the culprit to get it going again, given everything else works perfectly surely it's a simple switch or internal fuse?

We went on a holiday with a bunch of friends in Jan and our food got soggy in an esky again while all of these cunts had fridges and dry food...I cracked the shits and started looking for a fridge the first day we were back..got talked into an engel and out of a Kings by a bunch of Engel elitists...have done a dual battery with the Titan rear drawers in my navara with a Steel 60L engel...having a carton of beers in my car at 1 degree at all times is fucking awesome

Get 4 days with the car not being started at all before the fridge doesnt work anymore either...this is the best thing ive ever done to a 4WD
